Pascal's attention to detail is obvious with the Cep d'Or XO Selection, which boasts a wonderful floral bouquet that can only be achieved by using Grande Champagne-grown grapes.
This exquisite XO earned the title ‘Best of 2017’ with a score of 94 points awarded by Wine Enthusiast magazine and comes ‘Highly Recommended' earning 96 points back in 2013. The Cognac was described as ‘enticing and dessert-like’ with notes of cocoa and pecan pie, hints of apple and a zing of ginger, making it the most delightful digestif for your dinner party guests.
Twelve years old minimum. Seriously attractive bronze/bright old gold color. First whiffs encounter ripe, substantial aromas of beeswax, parchment, faint baked banana, and minerals; secondary nosings after further aeration come out slightly toasted, grapy-ripe, earthy/stony, and clean as a whistle. Entry is delightfully sweet and grapy in a jammy, compote way, and texture is like fine silk—man, this is savory; midpalate is medium long, subtle, integrated, and sound. Ends on perhaps its best moment of the evaluation as the supple viscosity, deep richness of the oak, and the crispness of the fruit converge in a glorious moment of triumph.
